I'm down for my sobriety!

     Up at 5:30am on my day off.  That's what I call "sleeping in".  Anyways, I got up and pondered my schedule for the day.  Nothing to do until later in the day so I decided to go to an AA meeting.  That's pretty significant considering I don't particularly care for those types of meetings.  As I was walking to the meeting I was thinking about my progress in my sobriety.  I've come quite a long way and going to an organization that I don't really like, without being forced to do so, is a testament to that.

     The format for this meeting was an "open meeting" meaning anyone could share their perspective on the chosen subject.  The subject was "true motives" and everyone that shared had some interesting insights.  The biggest revelation I gained was that I actually liked this type of meeting.  Most meetings I attend are "speaker meetings" where one person shares their story.  There's nothing wrong with speaker meetings, if that's your thing, but for me I have a short attention span if the speaker is not charismatic or sincere.  Some people have been telling their story for so long, in the same way, that they bore even themselves and that's when the message gets lost.

     Keep it Hot! is my motto.  I've got so much fire I've got to keep it under wraps for fear of burning down the house.  Real Talk.  I'm down for my sobriety.  I'm down for helping my brothers and sisters in this battle for life, but I'm really down for my love for Jesus Christ.
